New York Approves Offshore Wind Projects to Deliver Clean Power by 2026
TL;DR Summary
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the conditional awarding of two offshore wind projects, Empire Wind 1 and Sunrise Wind, which will deliver over 1,700 megawatts of clean energy and create more than 800 near-term construction jobs. These projects, set to be operational in 2026, represent a significant step towards achieving New York's Climate Act goal of developing 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035. The projects will also bring about substantial economic investments statewide and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting disadvantaged communities and advancing the state's clean energy goals.
